Adjustment of Status

ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS ("GREEN CARD") After your love one has been admitted to the United States as a Fiancée your marriage must take place within the 90-day time limit.

Following your marriage, your wife MUST apply to the USCIS to adjust her status from nonimmigrant status to conditional permanent residence status. At that time she can apply for work authorization also which will give her a temporary “GREEN CARD”.

You may apply to adjust your status if:

Based on being the spouse or child of another adjustment applicant or of a person granted permanent residence. You may apply to adjust status if you are the spouse or child of another adjustment applicant, or of a lawful permanent resident, if the relationship existed when that person was admitted as a permanent resident in an immigrant category, which allows derivative status for spouses and children.

Based on admission as the fiancée of a U.S. citizen and subsequent marriage to that citizen. You may apply to adjust status if you were admitted to the U.S. as the K-1 fiancée of a U.S. citizen and married that citizen within 90 days of your entry. If you were admitted as the K-2 child of such a fiancée, you might apply based on your parent's adjustment application.

How Long Is The I-485 Valid?

The I-485 permanent residence is valid indefinitely, as long as permanent residence is not abandoned through absence of six months or longer from the U.S.

Are Dependents Eligible for I-485?

Each person that desires permanent residence must file a separate I-485 application. The I-485 adjustment process involves the investigation of an individual's identity, health, criminal background, and the ability to support him or herself in the United States.

The employment-based adjustment applications must be filed at a USCIS Service Center. The family-based adjustment applications are filed at a local USCIS district office.

We do these packages for a very reasonable fee and make sure that all is done correctly and packaged in the way the USCIS prefers to insure they accept your Adjustment of Status with no hassles.

The Adjustment of Status is separate from your Fiancee Visa Petition.

Do you really want to have the hassle of reading all that material and filing out all those forms?

THE FAMILY CODE OF THE PHILIPPINES

Requisites of Marriage

Article 1. Marriage is a special contract of permanent union between a man and a woman entered into in accordance with law for the establishment of conjugal and family life. It is the foundation of the family and an inviolable social institution whose nature, consequences, and incidents are governed by law and not subject to stipulation, except that marriage settlements may fix the property relations during the marriage within the limits provided by this Code.

Article 2. No marriage shall be valid, unless these essential requisites are present: (1) Legal capacity of the contracting parties who must be a male and a female; and (2) Consent freely given in the presence of the solemnizing officer.

Article 3. The formal requisites of marriage are: (1) Authority of the solemnizing officer; (2) A valid marriage license except in the cases provided for in Chapter 2 of this Title; and (3) A marriage ceremony which takes place with the appearance of the contracting parties before the solemnizing officer and their personal declaration that they take each other as husband and wife in the presence of not less than two witnesses of legal age.

Article 4. The absence of any of the essential or formal requisites shall render the marriage void ab initio, except as stated in Article 35 (2).

Article 5. Any male or female of the age of eighteen years or upwards not under any of the impediments mentioned in Articles 37 and 38, may contract marriage.
